This email came to the board. Let me know if you’re interested and I can put you in touch.

Hello,

My name is Nora Pasquet, I’m a Casting Researcher at Hungry Jay Media. I hope you don’t mind me getting in touch.

I am working on an exciting new BBC series presented by The Repair Shop’s Jay Blades a very special co-presenter (yet to be announced). In this series, Jay and our guest will be travelling around the country to meet creative hobbyists, experts and makers from all over the UK. The programme is all about showcasing and celebrating the passion for tinkering at home and crafting creativity!

Our show is currently casting and looking for amateur hobbyists, crafters and creators who would like to show off a finished project or are stuck on a current project and would like some help from Jay and an expert. Whether it’s a small or big project we’d love to hear about anything from dolls houses to clothes to planes!

We’d also be keen to hear from artisans or craftspeople with expertise in a specific skill or a jack-of-all-trades type person!

We are eager to hear from people from all walks of life, backgrounds, communities and of varying abilities. If specific support or requirements are needed, we’d love to accommodate.

Filming will take place over the Midlands and the Northeast of Scotland in June.

We would like to hear from anyone within your community at Hackerspace who would be interested in getting involved with our show.

I would love the opportunity to have a quick phone call with you so I can explain the series in a bit more detail. Let me know when would be a good time for you to chat?

Thank you for your time and, I hope to talk to you soon,

Kind regards,

Nora
